Electronic Overkill

Video transcript

B: Is it working? (B looked into the camera and was shaking it a little bit)

A: Yes, it is. Now stop fiddling with it, let’s get back to work. (A stepped in to the scene, which is in a lab setting place.)

B: Okay, hi everyone, this is Doctor Albert Nolan, and I am Doctor Burton Mitchell, this is a demonstration of a testing phase for our latest invention, which hopefully could provide a massive area coverage for remote charging. Our small scale test was a success, but as we are increasing the output and coverage area, we are expecting to see some interesting result. Shall we process Albert?

A: (Nodded)

B: Okay. (A pushed a few buttons on a panel) Let’s see how this goes. Our expected range is 10 kilometer.

A: (Take up a communication device from the desk) 50 meter, how’s it going?

50M: Device is charging.

A: 100 meter.

100M: Device is charging.

A: 250 meter.

250M: Device is charging.

A: 500 meter.

500M: Device is charging.

A: 1 kilometer.

1KM: Device is charging.

A: 3 kilometer.

3KM: Device is charging.

A: 5 kilometer.

5KM: Device is charging.

A: 7 kilometer.

7KM: Device is charging.

A: (Grinned at B) 10 kilometer.

10KM: Device is charging.

(A and B exchanged a few inaudible words in the backgroud)

B: Okay, let it run for a few more minutes and let’s see- (The light in the room flickered and three seconds later, the video recording stopped)

A massive electric field engulfed the whole planet at an incredible rate, it swiped the whole continent slower than lights but faster than jets. It also emitted countless electrons and spreaded in a devastating speed.

Almost every single life on earth were taken, every piece of electronic was deep fried, and anyone who was near an electronic product was killed instantly. Those who stayed away in the countryside, with no electronic was spared to live a pathetic life a little long, three minutes.

Those who made it out alive, were mostly African. The rest of the world had less than a dozen alive, ten thousand below.

Animals were killed much like the way the human were, and some survived like the human were.

But there was something strange happening, the plants didn’t die, none had died except a few recent species raised by scientifically giving birth to.

Plants didn’t die but were stronger than ever. They grew bigger, tougher, more fruits, more flowers, more life within them. Their coverage soon extended toward the city and overtook many places as their home.

The living survived because of theses weird looking tree. Tree that grew so large, with so many branches and too many leaves.

Shelters were built around them, life were gathered beside them.

None had the time to find out what caused the almost extinction of human and animals, and the knowledge soon were forgotten and gone with the dead.

Years passed, life evolved around trees, people settled for a place of their own, but dangers were lurking around them.
